Description

PSV/ag (49641) PROCESS FOR PREPARING AN OPTICALLY ACTIVE
PHENYLGLYCIDYL ACID DERIVATIVE

The invention relates to a process for prepa~ing an optically active trans-phenylglycidic acid derivative having formula (1), O O
/ \ //
R - C - C - C (1) OA

in wh.ich R represents a phenyl group, whether or not subst.ituted, and A is derived from an optically active compound, in which an aldehyde having formula (2), //
R - C (2) H

in which R is as defined above, is, in the presence of a base, brought into contact with an optically active acetyl compound having formula (3), //
X - CH2 - C - OA (3) in which X represents a leaving group, characterized in that use is made of an optically active compound having formula (3) in which A is derived from an amino alcohol.
A similar process wherein an optically active trans phenylglycidic derivate with formula (1) is prepared in which A represents (-)-8-phenylmenthyl chloroacetate is known from EP-A-342904.
The process according to the invention provicles an alternative process wherein a high yield of the desired enantiomer and/or a high diastereomeric ratio can be obtained. Diastereoisomeric ratio means the (nnolar or weight) ratio between two diastereomeric isomers .
As the aldehyde use is made of an aldehyde having formula (2) in which R represents a phenyl group which may in one or more places be substituted with for example an alkyl group or an alkoxy group preferably having 1-20 C atoms in particular 1-5 C
atoms As the acetyl compound use is made of a compound having formula (3) in which X represents a leaving group and A a chiral group derived from an optically active amino alcohol (AOH). Groups that can be used as the leaving group are commonly known from the literature. Very suitable leaving groups are for examp]e halogenides in particular Cl- or Br~
sulphonates for example p-toluene or methane sulphonate. Amino alcohols from which A may be derived are for example (salts of) a ~-amino alcohol which preferably has a more or less rigid structure for example because of the amino alcohol containing a ring struct:ure. Particularly suitable examples of amino alcohols are substituted amino indanols having formula (4) ¦ O I ~ O - H (4) N
Rl R2 in wh:ich Rl and R2 represent a (hetero)alkyl, an alkenyl, a (hetero)aryl or an arylsulphonyl group, whether or not substituted, having 1-10 C atoms, or Rl and R, constitute an aromatic or aliphatic ring together with l:he N atom to which they are bound. The best resulls were obtained when use was made of a haloacetyl compolmd having formula (3), in which X represents Cl and A is derived from an enantiomerically pure (i.e.
having an enantiomeric excess (e.e.) ~ 95%, in partitular ~ 99%) cis-amino indanol having formula (4), in wh:ich Rl and R2 are each independently methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, allyl, benzyl or tosyl.
Preferably a non-nucleophilic base is used as the b~se, for example a hydride, in particular potassium hydride or sodium hydride; an alkyl lithium, more :in particular n-butyl lithium, or an alkoxide, preferably potassium t-butoxide. Preferably use is made of pol:assium t-butoxide.
As the solvent, use is made of for example chlor:inated hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons or ethers that are inert in the reaction system, for examp:Le dichloromethane, toluene, xylene or tetrahydrofuran (THF). Preferably use is made of toluene or dichloromethane.
The temperature at which the reaction is carried out is not particularly critical and preferably lies between -30 and 50~C, in particular between 10 and 40~C.
The molar ratio of the aldehyde and the acety:L compound is not critical either, and in practice prefe~ably lies between 1:2 and 2:1, in particular between 1:1.1 and 1.1:1, with a virtually equimolar ratio seeming optimum.
Preferably use is made of a slight excess of base relative to the acetyl compound, for example a base : acetyl compound molar ratio of between 1:1 and 1.5:1, preferably between 1:1 and 1.1:1. It will be clear that when A is derived from a salt of an optically active amino alcohol, for example the HCl salt, an extra equivalent of the base will need to be used.
Optically active phenylglycidyl acid derivatives obtained with the process according to the invent:ion can be used with particular advantage in the preparation of pharmaceuticals, in particular benzot;hiazepines, for example diltiazem and clenthiazem. The invention also relates to optically active phenylglycidyl acid derivatives having formula tl) and to the use thereof in the preparation of such pharmaceuticals.
In particular, the invention also relates to the new optically active compounds having formula (1) in whLch R represents a phenyl group, whether or not substLtuted, as defined above and A is derived from an optically active cis-amino ;n~nol (AOH) according to formula (4), in which R1 and R2 represent a (hetero)alkyl, an alkenyl, a (hetero)aryl or an arylsulphonyl group, whether or not substituted, having 1-10 C atoms, or R1 and R2 constitute an aromatic or aliphatic ring together with the N atom to which they are bound, R1 and R2 each independently preferably representing methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, allyl, benzyl or tosyl; and to the optically active acetyl compounds having formula (3), in which X
represents a leaving group and A is as defined above.
The optically active compounds having formula (1) can be used as such directly in the preparation of pharmaceuticals or they can first be converted into a corresponding phenylglycidyl ester, for example the methy], ethyl or t-butyl ester, for instance by reaction with a base and an alcohol e.g. an alkalimetal alkoxide with the desired ester corresponding alcohol as so]vent. These phenylglycidyl esters can in turn be converted into pharmaceuticals in a known manner, for examp:Le through coupling with an optionally substituted 2-amino thiophenol and cyclisation to a benzol:hiazepine. Such benzothiazepines are intermediates in the preparation of known pharmaceuticals, for example diltiazem and clenthiazem.
For the preparation of diltiazem use is made of for examp:Le the (2R,3S) compound having formula (1), in which R represents p-methoxyphenyl and A is derived from (lS, 2R)-amino ;n~nol, or a corresponding p-methoxyPhenylglycidyl ester obtained therefrom is firstbrought into contact with for example a 2-amino thiophenol, after which the reaction product obtained is subjected to a cyclisation reaction, optionally followed by an alkylation and acylation reaction.
The invention will now be further elucidated with reference to the examples, without being limited theret:o.

sodiurn methoxide in methanol was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The solution was neutralised with t;he aid of 40 ml of a 0.5M KH2PO4 solution in water and WclS extracted with 2*30 ml chloroform. The chloroform solution was washed with 2*30 ml of a 0.5M
KH2PO4 solution in water. After drying (Na2SO4) and evaporation, 1.24 grams (95%) of (2R,3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)oxirane-2-carboxylic methyl ester was obtained. Enantiomeric excess 55%. lH NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): 3.47 (d, lH), 3.73 (s) and 3.76 (s, together 6H), ~L.Ol (d, lH), 6.85 (d, lH) and 7.18 (d, 2H). 13C
NMR ('iO.31 MHz, CDCl3): 52.00 (q), 54.78 (q), 55.99 (d), 57.40 (d), 113.59 (d), 126.17 (s), 126.66 (d), 159.73 (s) and 168.28 (s).
After neutralisation with the aid of a 50% sodium hydroxide solution in water and extraction with the aid of chloroform, 1.30 grams (100%) of (lS,2R)-N-methyl,N-i-propyl-l-amino-2-indanol was recovered from the acid water layers.
